How does one poll a tea partier exactly? I personally find it to be a mindset not a party.

As I was trying to point another time this was posted, their “TEA Party supporters” seems to include anyone who is not pro-Obama. If I am incorrect and the TEA Party supporters are conservatives, the 58% make up of that group leaves little for the RINOs, “Moderates”, Independents, Dims, and Wacko Dims.

Always remember - Gallup has been a Democrat [National Socialist] party shill from the first. And in the matter of Perry, they know he is anathama to most conservatives and they lie about it.

At this point, we'd back this guy



Over this one



Of course, since they are related, the first one may be an illegal alien. Jury's still out on that one.

I've had misgivings about Perry because
(1) he comes on suddenly and powerfully as though backed by a powerful political machine,

(2) he looks like a George Bush clone,

(3) he backed Jimmy Carter (the worst President in U.S. history),

(4) he backed Al Gore and his hare brained Global Warming hysteria, and

(5) Herman Cain, Michele Bachmann, and Sarah Palin are better--

HOWEVER--

If the Tea Party People are backing him, I'll give him another look.

Oh, dear; why is it that I’m unable to find the Tea Party but Gallup can?

The poll finds that 58% of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents identify themselves as supporters of the Tea Party movement, with 36% saying they do not consider themselves supporters. Included among the group of Tea Party supporters is a smaller group — representing 12% of Republicans — who say they are “strong” supporters of the movement. Among this smaller group, Perry’s lead is even greater, 46% to 16%, over Bachmann, with all other candidates in single digits.

In Gallup’s July measurement of Republicans’ nomination preferences, before Perry officially entered the race, Romney held a slight edge over Bachmann among Tea Party supporters, 29% to 23%. Romney led Paul by 25% to 16% among nonsupporters.

I find this very hard to believe.
